    Maybe there could be one where you drive a course and you drive through barrels, and whoever gets the most barrels knocked down wins.

    So lately we've been experimenting with fuel consumption. Would there be any interest for fuel-related minigames? For example, you're given a car with 2 liters of gasoline and you have to make it across the island within X time without running out of fuel. It'd require choosing an efficient route and maximizing the efficiency of your driving without going so slow you run out of time. It wouldn't be any sort of high energy fast-paced gameplay but it'd be an interesting gameplay challenge.

    i think that would be cool, but you would have to add another challenge to it. Maybe, if you had to race someone across the island, but still have to make it before you run out of fuel.

    I'm envisioning two cars hypermiling while simultaneously trying to run each other off the road :D

    I like that. Maybe you could even try to burst the other person`s gas tank. That might require way to much work than what its worth though.

    There's already a gas station on Dry Rock Island (though it doesn't have pumps yet ;))

    You guys never cease to amaze me with the speed at which this game is progressing! From everything I have found that will be in this game, I can see this game surpassing many other games in my opinion. The mods, game-modes, and features just sound so amazing! Seriously, Keep up the good work!

    Yes!!!

    and yes! :D

    But like you said, it would need to be a seperate minigame in my opinion. I think fuel consumption in all the career modes would just be annoying. Might be fun for like 15 minutes and then you'd be bored of it I think.

    Also, everyone knows the best route is straight through the jungle and the most fuel efficient driving style is "POWERRRR". But yeah, I, too, think that would be a really cool minigame :)

    EDIT: Just thought of something. What about a Top Gear style "car darts".

    Basically, if there's a big cliff somewhere on the island, you just have a big bullseye/target thing at the bottom. All you have to do is select a car, and drive it off the cliff at the right speed and try to land in the middle of the target. Closer to the middle gets more points. Might be cool, no?

    Car darts? Yes please.:) And Gabe, you said that punctured gas tanks are already in game. Are you planning to make it possible for leaked fuel, and/or the car to catch on fire?

    There could be an online table of the most economical drivers. It would be cool if part of the racing could be hiding behind the car ahead and the two would realistically share aerodynamic drag.

    Darts would be fun. Though it would need some obstacles to make it more challenging. You would have to steer around them while keeping optimum speed or estimate how it changes your trajectory if you hit them. Cliff should be jaggy, too.

    Maybe a car chase event,

    You start in a van and you have to get to the edge of the map, you are not allowed to leave the van though. Depending on selected difficulty a certain amount of police muscle cars (they have to be muscle cars just in case there is ever a shopping mall map :) ) following them. The van would also be fully loaded which would weigh it down a little and effect the handling.

    Could be a fun game mode.

    SLENDERCARS

    a bunch of regular street cars spawn/start in a forest. The forest will be a bit bumpy to where the street cars have a bit of difficulty.
    One car/person is in a Black Baja Truck (advantage over the other cars) that has a form of a pincher or some tool that would disable other vehicles attached to the front
    The person in the Baja truck has to catch the other cars with his grabber/pincher on the front of his car. The closer he gets to other players, their screens get static.

    Goal of the game is for the street cars to work together to either hit the sides of the baja truck to disable it (which is where it has no pinchers/tool, or they need to find a certain amount of car parts that will be scattered throughout the map.

    I'm sure much of this would need to be redone so we wouldn't be copying any other games that may be confused with this :D

    Please give me some feedback on this! If you have any ideas that would improve this, please post it!

    I totally like that idea! Though some rules would be changed to simplify things. Like the one that all the "street cars" should try to disable the Baja truck. It should be like this: The Baja truck tries to crash into the other opponents, and when the opponents get hit by the Baja truck, they lose. And all the opponents only try to evade the Baja truck. The Baja truck has a minimap but the opponents doesn't.

    Dude, mini-map I completely forgot about, love the idea especially if it will be in the dark. Better hope the street cars don't smash their headlights on something!
